Who could resist? As I went to rinse this morning’s backyard harvest of golden tomatoes (my red varieties are between-times at the moment) and the first of our 5-year-old apple tree’s fruit, I noticed that each matched a bowl in the dish drainer. For now. The apples, a low-chill variety called Beverly Hills, turn from this apple green to a russety red-streaked yellow. But they never make it to that shade at our house -- we prefer their McIntosh-like bright-white flesh when it’s firm and crisp.

P.S. The oregano’s in bloom.
